Plastic Computer Towers

Tue Sep 10 19:41:07 EDT 1996

Hi,

I am interested in buying a Dell computer for the shack, but am some what
concerned about RFI with the plastic tower case. Has anybody had experience
with plastic cases?  Please respond directly to N1KWJ at aol.com. 

                                            73, Fred  N1KWJ

I realize that it's now the "in thing to do", i.e., have your very own web 
site to publicize your upcoming contest operation. Unfortunately we ZD8's 
are few in number, have no PhD's resident on our staff, and definitely 
represent a low budget operation.  But what the heck, you'll probably want 
to work us (me) anyway (nice juicy double mult oughtta do it) - so we 
don't have a web site!  But if you allow yourself to expand 
yourimagination, you can perhaps visualize what the ZD8 web page might 
look like:
    depicting an incredibly magnificent tropical island, a thousand miles 
from anywhere, surrounded by deep azure waters, glorious white sand 
beaches, palm trees wafting in the southeast tradewinds, and beautiful 
bare-breasted native girls frolicing amongst the rhombics and log 
periodics.  No noise, no neighbors, no TVI -- just ZD8Z forced to go it 
alone.  Please look for me the end of October, unless I get side-tracked 
in the antenna field.

                   Very 73,

Confirmation has been received by the Hongkong Amateur Radio Transmitting
Society from the Hongkong Government Office of the Telecommunications
Authority that amateurs here will be allowed to use several prefixes to
commemorate the transfer of sovereignty over the territory from the United
Kingdom to the People's Republic of China on 1 July 1997.

At the request of HARTS, Hongkong amateurs will be allowed to change the
numeral in their callsign to "96" in 1996, "97" in 1997 & "98" in 1998.
Amateurs began to use these new prefixes on 10 September 1996, starting
with a contact between VS96BG & VR96GO.

HARTS will announce later the details of a new award to be offered to
amateurs for contacting stations using these special prefixes.

All Hongkong amateurs have held licenses with callsigns using the prefix
VR2 for several years now, although those previously holding VS6 calls are
allowed to continue to use the VS prefix before 1 July 1997.  The VRA-VRZ
block allocated by the ITU to the UK will be transferred to the PRC at that
time & will be used by the Hongkong Special Administrative Region of the
PRC after that date.

The only other use of that block by amateurs at present is in Pitcairn
Island, where VR6 calls are still in use.  At present, we do not know what
prefix will be used there after 1 July 1997.

There was sure plenty of activity on the bands. Was nice too work some 
old friends again. 

The big guns kinda run over us small water pistols running 100 watts.

Oh well, I will have up some nice antennas again someday.

            117 Q's x 36 Mults = 4,212

My score will get better.
